TL;DR Qatar is changing teams (like turkey has/is doing) considering the unsustainability of the KSA/US foreign policy

What's likely happening is Qatar has had to come to an agreement with Iran to supply their shared offshore gas reserve (North Dome/South Pars) to Indian and Chinese markets, and abandon the Syrian gas pipeline extension to Europe via Syria. Qatar and Iran are essentially producing out of the same massive offshore reserve in the Persian Gulf, and are competing on getting this gas to market.

Initially Qatar had planned a gas pipeline via Saudi and Syria en route to Europe, which was blocked by Syria back in 2012, and then Russia had officially entered the fray to defend their literal monopoly of the European gas market.

Enter ISIS, a Saudi-Qatari-US-Israeli backed private military contractors to overthrow Assad, get a puppet President in who would grant construction rights for the Qatari pipeline. This brute force strategy using foreign backed PMC's have utterly failed with Russian support.
From the other end, the United States have blocked Iran from building a gas pipeline through the military campaigns in Iraq, thus closing the Meditteranean corridor for Iran.

This has forced Iran to focus their attention on supplying the Asian market, most noteably China, who have been purchasing an increasing amount of oil and gas from Iran and Russia, and less and less from Saudi and the other gulf countries.

China is doing this to try to force Saudi, Qatar, and the gulf monarchies to accept the Yuan for oil/gas payments instead of USD, and is putting the Gulf monarchies on a collision course with the United States and threatening the Petrodollar mercantilism racket. Whenever the United States dollar is threatened, a false flag ensues, and a major military campaign is executed. Iraq and Libya are perfect examples.

Why don't they build a Qatar - Iran - Turkey > Europe gas pipeline instead of through Syria?

Qatar and Turkey would jeopardize their relations with the USA(Israel hates Iran ), Qatar would be invaded by their hardline anti-Iran neighbours if they would announce such a plan.

Turkey and Iran already have the Tabriz - Ankara Pipeline, and there are also plans of a new Persian Pipeline that would connect Iran - Turkey > Europe.

"Iran is reported to be looking at reviving plans for the so-called Persian pipeline as a means of increasing its gas exports to the EU. The new pipeline would replace the existing Tabriz-Ankara pipeline currently used to transport gas from Iran’s South Pars fields to Turkey with a 3,300km network starting with the Iran Gas Trunkline 9 (IGAT-9) running from the port of Assaluyeh to the city of Bazargan on Iran’s border with Turkey. At Assaluyeh it would connect up with its European section which would effectively run parallel to the Trans Anatolian (TANAP) and Trans Adriatic (TAP) pipelines that are currently being developed to link Azerbaijan’s Caspian fields to Europe.
On reaching Italy, the Persian Pipeline would split, with the northern branch running on to Switzerland, Austria and Germany and the southern branch to France and Spain. The new pipeline was originally envisaged as having an annual capacity of 37-40bcm and was expected to require at least $7bn in overseas investment."

Why would an Qatar - Iran > China/Russia Pipeline be fine for the USA, but not a Qatar - Iran - Turkey > Europe Pipeline?

If Somalia recovers, and the large natural resources that we have is true, I wonder where our Pipeline would be located at/go through. Was thinking at first Somalia - Oman - Iran - Turkey > Europe, or Somalia - Oman - Pakistan > Asia.

Somalia > Djibouti > Eritrea/Ethiopia > non Sudan > Egypt > Turkey would definitly be one.
A promising one would be Somalia > Oman > Pakistan > India would also be great.
Somali gas would have the Luxury of being partisan ( Russia) or coming from crazy arabs monopolies.
We would also have all of east Africa for ourselves to export.
